17 People Who Wished for a Great Holiday Photo but Got the Exact Opposite

There have been researchers that say how people who photograph everything in museums remember less than those who don’t take photos. And while that may be true for landscape and museum photography, photos with our friends is a must while being away. It is the perfect way to capture our memories and look at them whenever we feel down. But unfortunately, things don’t always go as we planned and our photos or overall experiences are not what we expected.
